A person, who does not fear the process of change, is called progressive.
He knows that becoming static is synonymous with inactivity, dullness and sluggishness.
One who does not move forward, does not welcome new ideas and new experiences, loses his energy.
A progressive person has to forget the past, accept the present, and prepare himself for overcoming the obstacles. Only those who are active should be considered alive and conscious. They possess all the virtues needed for success. Those who fear change should be considered lifeless and dead.
A number of changes, like day and night, profit and loss, meeting and separation, etc, are encountered in everyday life. In spite of appearing opposites, they are all inter-related.
A person’s individual and social life is a collection of such events of change. Their purpose is to make a person or community alert, courageous and brilliant.
Human dignity lies in welcoming the challenge of change in order to move forward.
Fearing change and accepting the status quo is cowardice. Only those people are successful who consider change to be as an opportunity for progress and accept it wholeheartedly and gladly.
Let us resolve to meet the challenges of change with a positive attitude inspired by faith and hope.
